Restoran Crocodile Farm Seafood Village Treat

Next to Dorsett Grand Subang there is a placid lake.  Our incoming president gave us a treat here for attending the Distas.

Restoran Crocodile Farm Seafood Village is a misnomer as theydo not serve crocodile meat, and there are certainly no crocs in the pond.

This is how the restaurant looks like....there are ample parking places nearby

the entrance

the tables...not very well patronised although it is a saturday night

great view of the high rise condos..

and I could also see Holiday Villa Subang where my nephew works

 Alan is taking photos

and this is his shot.

food is served

pardon my shiny face, we had a full day seminar and I was tired and loathed to re do my face and make up..anyway this is our dinner group.

the most expensive fish I have ever eaten: RM200+ which jacks up the bill to RM400

Alan says my photo skill is not good so here are his pics of the food:

signature dish tofu

steamed grouper, by the weight and market price

crunchy beans

assorted meat platter

Thanks Prez (incoming) for the yummilicious dinner!!

Batu Pahat Bak Kut Teh

After Chien's mother's funeral we went for a meal together: my bro and his three sons and daughter, Chien's sister in law and her sons (nephews) me, Kiat, Terry and Millie.

This is the Bak Kut Teh shop. "Kedai Makanan Hock Chew"

It is situated along this road "Jalan Teh Kim Peow"

 The interior of the shop is functional, with stacks of clay pots and stove with burning fire (the wok hei the chinese are very fond of)

 We have two tables, one of the kids and the other of the adults.  They are still in their funeral garb, usually before leaving families are asked to change to normal clothes, but this time, no.

 We are all waiting for our lunch!

 She has finished making our order and you can see our 2 claypots on top of the intense fire!

 This is the boss, he gets the Chinese herbs for the bak kut teh from my bro's shop and he charges us quite exorbitantly the last time we patronised his shop!

 We are now tucking into the soup and meat and rice and yum yum yummy!!!!

 Look at all the goodies: side dishes that look too good!!!

 I love to eat in Batu Pahat, because the experience is quite different, here I feel more relaxed and unhurried and get to enjoy my food more, really, Let me show you our food one by one.

 tu kah (pig trotters) chinese crullers/yau char kwai, kiam chai or stewed salted vegetables.

 all these go with plain steamed white rice 

or yam rice (sorry my hand shook)

 it all goes with chinese newspaper, chinese tea, Samsung Galaxie S5

 close up of the super soft stewed kiam chye

 the pot of steaming bak kut teh with tau pok, fu chok , pork ribs and pork legs 

 yummylicious, scrumptious and piping hot!!!

 We did justice to all the food, The bill came to more than RM250 for the 2 tables.

hmmmmmm satisfied and full look from all of us!

添好運 Tim Ho Wan at Mid Valley: Reunion 29 June 2015

Our school mate from Perth is is town so we had a meet-up at Tim Ho Wan.....

Chiam, Yip (the Perth guy) Yeo and me,,,,,we are reitirees...so we could easily meet on a Monday!! hehe and there was no queue for Tim Ho Wan!!

I got this photo from Internet...you can see people queuing up

picture from (A Table For Two by Billy Law)

 It is situated between Gardens and MidValley, at the Boulevard...quite a strategic site....wahh..so quiet and empty!

Tim Ho Wan, world famous Michelin-starred dim sum house – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

 Don’t expect a dim sum menu with extensive choices, THW only offers a humble list of 31 items

 you can see from the menu that everything was a wee bit pricey...to me at least!

 The first thing that arrived was baked buns, there were 6 of us and everything came in sets of three.

 Baked bun with BBQ pork

RM11.50

the 6 of us....the guy in shirt with red stripe is our good "Dr" Lee who initiated our reunion..meet also Sia, ex CIMB

 out came the smart phones to document the food...Michelin-starred dim sum wor..

 Vermicelli Roll with Pig's Liver RM11,50

 Carrot Cake

 Pan-fried Carrot Cake RM10.50!!!

so expensive! Carrots(radish, actually)  are so cheap and my late father-in-law could  make a whole pan at RM10.50, seriously! (with real radish)

  Vermicelli Roll with Sweet and Sesame Sauce RM8.30

 Bean Curd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp RM9.30

 Steamed Egg Cake RM8.30.....

ridiculously priced because my mother-in-law always buys these cheaply from the morning market and prays with it at the altar, after which she serves it for tea but no one eats it.....now it costs RM8.30 for a fraction of what my mil had.....

 Look at us with our table laden with the MICHELIN STARRED and Michelin priced Dim sum hehe

 Pork Dumpling with Shrimp RM11.50

How times have changed..I used to buy these siew mai in Batu Pahat for 1.60 each

Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce RM9.30

my late father's favourite, he always ordered this for our morning dim sum whenever we had breakfast together when we visit him

Stir Fried Hor Fun with Pork

RM15.80

for such a small plate that 6 of us had chopsticks serving, this is astronomically priced!

 Poached fresh seasonal vegetable : RM10.80

Chiam needed some greens so we had this....

My verdict of the dim sum....well having been brought up in Batu Pahat with the cheapest dim sum and the widest of choices at an eighth of  Tim Ho Wan's prices, I do not understand what the hype is all about.

I would rather have a lazy Sunday dim sum with you, Pa, anytime.
